Notes
'Seeing Blue' peony (Paeonia 'Seeing Blue') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. The fragrant pink blooms have lighter edges, and butterflies and bees visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Keep it away from pets, since it is toxic to dogs and cats.
Pairs well with White Feather hosta, Sedge, Pyrethrum, and Black Hero tulip.
